The Commerce Department published notices in the June 28 Federal Register on the following AD/CV duty proceedings (any notices that announce changes to AD/CV duty rates, scope, affected firms, or effective dates will be detailed in another ITT article):
The Internet Archive is challenging a New Jersey state law that makes online service providers criminally liable for providing access to third parties’ materials, the Electronic Frontier Foundation said in a Thursday release (http://bit.ly/14xne0U). The law conflicts with federal law and threatens the free flow of information on the Internet, said EFF, which will represent the Internet Archive in the suit. “The New Jersey statute is an almost carbon copy of a law successfully blocked by EFF and the Internet Archive last year,” it said. The law, specifically section 12(b)(1) of the Human Trafficking Prevention, Protection, and Treatment Act, could impose stiff penalties on ISPs, Internet cafes and libraries that indirectly cause the publication, dissemination or display of content that contains an implicit offer of a commercial sex act and the image of a minor, EFF said. A hearing on the Internet Archive’s request for a preliminary injunction against the law is set for Friday at the U.S. District Court in Newark, it said.

The International Trade Administration issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on honey from China (A-570-863). The agency said it will no longer review four companies that withdrew their review requests, so their current AD rates will not be changed by this review.1 None of the other companies under review demonstrated independence from state control, Commerce said. If these preliminary results are finalized, all of those non-separate rate companies will be assigned to the China-wide entity with an AD rate of $2.63/kg. These preliminary results are not in effect. Commerce may modify them in the final results of this review and change the estimated AD cash deposit rate for these companies.
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on polyester staple fiber from Taiwan (A-583-833). The agency continued to find a zero AD rate for Far Eastern New Century Corporation (FENC). As such, Commerce will direct CBP to liquidate entries of subject merchandise from FENC during the period of review without regard to AD duties, and will not collect a cash deposit on future entries of subject merchandise exported by FENC until further notice. The new rate is effective June 28, and will be implemented by CBP soon.
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on polyester staple fiber from China (A-570-905). The agency made no changes from its preliminary results, continuing to find Far Eastern and Huvis Sichuan did not demonstrate their independence from state control. As such, Commerce assigned them the China-wide entity rate. The new rates are effective June 28, and will be implemented by CBP soon.
CEA President Gary Shapiro hailed Aereo’s streaming-video service as a technology “disrupter” in his keynote Q&A with Aereo CEO and founder Chet Kanojia at CE Week. Calling Aereo’s TV service the kind of innovation that government shouldn’t “mess up,” Shapiro referred back to the Betamax case that set a precedent for a recording product to be legal “if it has significant legal uses and the legal use is recording over-the-air broadcasts.” The Sony v. Universal case opened the door for a “whole range of technology to come in,” Shapiro said. The decision defined the CE industry for the next 30 years, he said.
